General description

Alizarin-3-methyliminodiacetic acid is used in the colorimetric detection of fluorine. It is a dye employed to stain mineralized bones of the preserved specimen from vertebrates.

Application

Alizarin-3-methyliminodiacetic acid has been used:
  • for live staining of mineralized bone matrix
  • to double-label the bone for dynamic bone histomorphometry at the femoral mid-diaphysis in the rat
  • as a label in histomorphometry of the tibial diaphysis to indicate new bone formation in the rat
